In January 2017, García was signed permanently by Chilean Primera División side Deportes Antofagasta.[5][6] He made his debut on 19 February in a 5–0 victory over Universidad de Concepción.[1] On 7 July 2017, after thirteen games for Antofagasta, García returned to Argentina to join Huracán on loan.[7][8] He appeared three times during the 2017–18 campaign for the club.[1] August 2018 saw García join Racing de Córdoba of Torneo Federal A.[1] He made six appearances.[1] In 2019, García returned to Chile as he agreed terms with Primera B's San Luis.[9] His debut arrived on 23 February versus Deportes Temuco.[1]
After terminating his San Luis contract on 29 July 2019, García spent the rest of the year without a club.[10] In March 2020, Chilean Segunda División outfit Deportes Recoleta signed García.[11] His first appearance, which was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, came in a home defeat to San Antonio Unido on 16 September; it also meant he had appeared in the top three divisions of the country's system.[1]
